PART I
ITEM 1. BUSINESS
INTRODUCTION
MICROS Systems, Inc. was incorporated in the State of Maryland in 1977 as
Picos Manufacturing, Inc. and, in 1978, changed its name to MICROS Systems, Inc.
(References to "MICROS" or the "Company" herein include the operations of MICROS
Systems, Inc. and its subsidiaries on a consolidated basis.) MICROS is a leading
worldwide designer, manufacturer, marketer and servicer of enterprise
information solutions for the global hospitality industry. The information
solutions consist of application specific software and hardware systems,
supplemented by services. The hospitality industry includes numerous defined
market segments such as lodging (including individual hotel sites, hotel central
reservation systems and customer information systems), table service
restaurants, quick service restaurants, entertainment venues such as stadiums
and arenas, business foodservice operations, transportation foodservice, and
cruise ships.
MICROS's enterprise solutions are comprised of two major areas: (1) hotel
information systems and (2) restaurant information systems. In addition to its
software enterprise solutions and hardware products, MICROS offers an extensive
array of support services and products for its hotel and restaurant information
systems. The hotel information systems consist of software encompassing property
management systems ("PMS"), central reservation systems ("CRS"), and customer
information systems ("CIS"). The restaurant information systems consist of
hardware and software for point-of-sale ("POS") and operational applications.
The Company's PMS are installed worldwide in leading hotel chains such as
Marriott International, Radisson, Hilton International (United Kingdom),
Wyndham, Starwood, Forte (United Kingdom), Thistle (United Kingdom), Bass Hotel
& Resorts (United Kingdom), Kempinski (Germany), Mandarin Oriental (Hong Kong),
Movenpick (Switzerland), Peninsula (Hong Kong), Ramada Europe, Shangri-La
International (Hong Kong) and Steigenberger (Germany). Worldwide, there are
currently over 8,500 MICROS PMS installations.
The MICROS CRS is installed in hotel chains such as Best Western
International, Starwood (Westin Hotels), Wyndham, Concorde (France), Equatorial
(Malaysia), First (Sweden), Oberoi (India), Pan Pacific (Singapore), Rydges

institutional food service organizations and specialty retail shops. The Company
has installed large POS systems in the Foxwood Hotel and Casino (Ledyard, CT),
Grand Casino (Australia), Atlantis (Bahamas), Sun City (South Africa), Luxor
Hotel and Casino, MGM Grand Hotel Casino and Theme Park, Mirage Casino, Bellagio
and The Venetian, the latter five casinos being located in Las Vegas, Nevada.
PRODUCTS AND SERVICES
Hotel Information Systems
For the hotel marketplace, MICROS develops, markets and distributes a
complete line of hotel software products and services. The hotel information
systems include property management systems, central reservation systems,
customer information systems, revenue management systems ("RMS"), and an
Internet based hotel reservations service called hotelBANK, and support
services. The PMS software provides for reservations, guest accounting, sales
and catering applications, travel agent accounting, engineering management, and
interfaces to central reservations and global distribution systems. The CRS
software allows hotels to coordinate, process, track and analyze hotel room
reservations at a central facility for electronic distribution to the
appropriate lodging site. The CIS software allows hotels to efficiently capture
and track relevant information of guests. The RMS software allows hotels to
manage room rates, occupancy, and the mix of business between corporate and
transient customers. The software systems run on industry standard Intel-based
personal computers ("PCs"). MICROS also offers an Internet based hotel
reservation service through a majority owned subsidiary called hotelBANK. This
subsidiary's service enables corporate customers to create room reservations
directly with designated hotels, thereby bypassing third party reservation
systems.
MICROS markets its hotel products under the MICROS-Fidelio brand name.
The MICROS-Fidelio suite of software products operates on the Microsoft DOS
operating system and utilizes Novell networking software. The systems run on an
industry standard Intel-based PC. In June 1997, MICROS-Fidelio introduced a
version of the MICROS-Fidelio Suite, called Version 7.0, which utilizes the
Microsoft Windows 95 graphical user interface and an Oracle database. To date,
over 1,600 sites are installed with Version 7.0. MICROS has over 8,500
installations worldwide of all versions of its PMS in both international hotel
chains and independent hotel/resort properties. The Front Office PMS product is
closely integrated with MICROS POS systems for table service restaurants,
including the option for a guest folio print and check-out from the Company's
8700 HMS order entry terminal in a hotel restaurant.
MICROS plans on introducing a new complete hotel software suite in fiscal
2001 called Opera. The Opera suite has been in development since 1996 with
extensive beta testing started in fiscal 1999. Opera includes modules for front
office reservations, central reservations, customer information systems, sales
and catering, materials management, yield/revenue management, and quality
management. All the products are designed to share a common Oracle database.
Opera will run under these three operating systems: Microsoft Windows NT, IBM
AIX, and Sun Solaris. The Opera software suite is deemed an important product
line for MICROS's continued growth in the hotel information systems market.
Restaurant Information Systems
MICROS's restaurant systems include POS application software encompassing
transaction control, restaurant operations, accounting data, interfaces to other
systems, communications, hardware and support services. Depending on the product
installed, the systems run on either proprietary hardware terminals or industry
standard Intel-based PCs.
The Company's restaurant POS systems for the table service/leisure and
entertainment markets are the 8700 Hospitality Management System ("HMS"), the
3700 POS system, and the 2700 and 2800 HMS (a version of the 2700 HMS). For the
quick service market, MICROS offers the 2400 Fast Food System ("FFS"). MICROS
will introduce in fiscal 2001 a new version of the 3700 POS that will
incorporate software features designed for the quick service restaurant market.
The new version of the 3700 POS will act as a successor product for the 3400
Quick Service Advantage POS product, which was discontinued in fiscal 2000.

The Company also offers the MICROS PC Workstation ("PCWS"), an
Intel-based microprocessor personal computer, for sale in both hospitality and
non-hospitality markets. The PCWS is designed to withstand the rigors of a
restaurant environment. MICROS resells various hardware products such as
personal computers, printers, network cards, and other related computer
equipment. MICROS signed an agreement with Hewlett Packard Corporation in fiscal
2000 in which Hewlett Packard was designated as a preferred provider of personal
computers, printers, and networking equipment on a global basis. Sales under
this relationship will start in fiscal 2001.
The 8700 HMS, released in September 1993, and since upgraded to add new
features and functionality in subsequent releases, is designed for table service
and quick service restaurants in hotels, resorts, casinos, airports,
stadiums/arenas, theme parks and larger independent and chain restaurants. It
allows the user the flexibility to configure the system around various hardware
and software choices to control restaurant and food service operations at both
the server and management levels. Features of the 8700 HMS include customized
workstations, such as a flat keyboard and touchscreen, flexible guest check
printing, time and attendance capability, check tracking by table or check,
credit card authorization, extensive revenue center and system-wide reporting
(which analyzes sales mix, sales balancing, serving periods, table turns, time
periods, food cost and operator accountability), the ability to split checks
into multiple checks and hardware diagnostic and software confidence tests. The
8700 HMS product has an open systems architecture which allows its use on an
industry standard Intel-based PC as the server with the order entry terminals
being either the Company's proprietary order entry POS terminal hardware or
standard PCs. The 8700 HMS utilizes the SCO Unix operating system, which permits
multi-tasking and multi-user operations. This architecture gives it the ability
to manage any size restaurant or food service operation.
The Company intends to release a new version of the 8700 HMS in fiscal
2001 called the Large Enterprise Solution 9000 ("LES 9000"). This product
incorporates the feature set of the 8700 HMS but runs on Microsoft's Windows NT
operating system, and possesses additional features and functionality. The
addition of the LES 9000 enables MICROS to offer customers the application set
of the 8700 HMS on either Unix or NT operating systems.
The 3700 POS, released in October 1996, is designed for table service
restaurants. It has an open systems architecture as it operates under
Microsoft's Windows 95/NT operating systems, utilizes either Microsoft's SQL or
Sybase's relational databases, and runs on industry standard Intel-based PCs. It
utilizes a touchscreen, Microsoft Windows based graphical user interface. Over
7,500 licenses have been sold since the product was introduced. Its
functionality is similar to the MICROS 8700 HMS.
The 2700 HMS, of which the first version was released in March 1989, is a
stand-alone intelligent terminal designed for table service restaurants, both
large and small. The 2700 HMS, available in both an entry level and premium
configured platform, relies on proprietary terminal architecture and interfaces
with Microsoft's DOS/Windows, Intel-based PC back office software systems. The
2700 HMS Touchscreen System, released in September 1991, combines touchscreen
technology with the Company's 2700 HMS POS system. In 1999, a version of the
2700 HMS was released under the name 2800 HMS. The 2800 HMS incorporates the
feature set of the 2700 HMS, Version 5.0, but has the ability to utilize the
restaurant operations software developed for the 3700 POS.
For quick service restaurants, MICROS markets the 2400 Fast Food System.
The 2400 FFS, released in October 1991, features a proprietary, networked
intelligent terminal architecture. A remote printer and video screen subsystem
accommodate a wide variety of kitchen production and order routing schemes. The
system's application software addresses quick service requirements in the areas
of order entry, drive-thru operations, inventory tracking, employee
timekeeping/labor tracking and data communications and produces a variety of
management reports through an interface with back office, PC based software
systems. MICROS offers a back office management information systems software
package called the 2400 Manager Workstation Plus ("MWS+"). The MWS+ software,
released in June 1995, and subsequently modified with additional features, is a
PC-based software product that provides for management analysis of sales and
operational trends at quick service restaurants, both at the store and corporate
levels. The product also integrates POS functions with in-store back office,
regional and home office management information system functions.

During fiscal 1999, MICROS introduced the Restaurant Enterprise Series
("RES") software suite. RES is a software suite of products that encompass
point-of-sale transaction control, restaurant operations, data analysis, and
communications. The POS software constitutes the front-end application for the
3700 and 2800 POS systems. The restaurant operations modules constitute the
Enterprise Office suite. The software modules include inventory, product
forecasting, labor management, financial management, and enterprise data
management. These modules are designed to operate at a restaurant site. For
management of multiple restaurants, the RES includes a suite of software
products called Enterprise Management. This suite allows for data to be
transmitted to a remote site (including a corporation's headquarters) for data
collection and analysis. Additionally, changes such as pricing and menus can be
made at a remote site and downloaded to specified restaurant locations. The
Restaurant Enterprise Series is an important component of MICROS's strategy to
fully integrate point-of-sale transaction processing with other restaurant
operational and management functions. In fiscal 2001, MICROS will release a new
version of the RES product suite that will be called the RES 3000.
The Company's design architecture allows existing users of many MICROS
POS products to access new technologies and applications in conjunction with
their existing MICROS POS system. In addition, many MICROS products interface
with various back office accounting and property management systems, including
the Company's hotel PMS products.
Services
MICROS provides a wide range of service products and services to its
customers. Products include spare parts, media supplies (ribbons, paper, etc.),
active power-line conditioners and uninterruptable power supplies. Services
include installation, operator and manager training, on-site hardware
maintenance, application software support, credit card software support, systems
configuration, network support and consulting. In fiscal 1996, MICROS commenced
the implementation of a customer service management system developed by Clarify
Inc. The Company continues to develop and enhance this system. MICROS uses the
Clarify system to provide support of its POS and PMS products and services for
the United States, United Kingdom and Germany.
MICROS provides field hardware and software maintenance via a combination
of its direct and indirect (authorized U.S. dealers and international
distributors) channels. In 1998, MICROS engaged a third party field servicer
called Vanstar Corporation to provide field hardware maintenance to selected
U.S. based major account restaurants. MICROS implemented the Vanstar field
maintenance program in the East Coast of the United States. The planned national
rollout was never fully implemented, as MICROS concluded there were better ways
to address field service. Accordingly, the relationship was terminated in the
fall of 1999, at which time MICROS instituted its new field service program that
uses a combination of MICROS District offices and certain pre-qualified MICROS
authorized dealers to provide service country-wide.
MICROS operates a help desk seven days a week, 24 hours per day in its
Columbia, Maryland headquarters. This central support operation receives support
calls from customers and addresses them on-line or dispatches a service call to
the appropriate local service provider. Internationally, in-country support is
provided by the local sales entity, whether it be a MICROS subsidiary or
distributor. MICROS maintains regional support centers in Neuss, Germany, Buenos
Aires, Argentina and Sydney, Australia. MICROS's corporate customer service
provides back-up support for its regional centers. Customer support for
hotelBANK is centered in Stockholm, Sweden, the site of the subsidiary's
operational headquarters.
MICROS believes that its services are an important competitive factor and
differentiator in customer purchasing decisions. Service revenue constituted
approximately 40% of MICROS's total revenues in fiscal year 2000 and 35% for
both fiscal years 1999 and 1998.

SALES, MARKETING AND DISTRIBUTION
The Company considers its direct and indirect global distribution network
a major strength. This network has been built over the past 23 years. The
Company, its U.S. based dealers, and international distributors work closely
together in seeking to identify new customers, products, services and markets,
as well as to serve the Company's existing customer base with enhanced products
and services.
The Company's products are sold primarily through three channels: (i) the
Direct Sales Channel, comprised of the Company's owned sales distribution
network consisting of 8 districts, 4 domestic subsidiaries and 32 international
sales operations; (ii) the MICROS Major Accounts program directed to designated
regional, national, and international customers; and (iii) the Indirect Sales
Channel, an independent sales distribution network consisting of approximately
68 domestic dealers and 56 international distributors.
Foreign sales, including export sales from the United States, accounted
for approximately 53%, 51%, and 54%, of the Company's total revenue in fiscal
years 2000, 1999 and 1998, respectively.
RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT
The products sold by the Company are subject to rapid and continual
technological change. Accordingly, the Company must continually develop
innovative systems incorporating the newest technologies. Products available
from the Company, as well as its competitors, have increasingly offered a wider
range of features and capabilities.
The Company conducts its core POS product software and hardware
development at its Columbia, Maryland corporate headquarters. To facilitate
rapid responses for various regional application needs outside the United
States, MICROS conducts software development in its Neuss, Germany, Singapore,
and Sydney, Australia support offices. In addition, the Company continually
examines and evaluates software and hardware products and designs created by
third parties and has acquired and may in the future acquire rights to such
products and designs.
In fiscal 1998, MICROS started using the hardware design services of SCI
Systems, Inc. ("SCI"). This outsourcing allowed the Company to reduce its
internal staff of designers while increasing its capacity to design new hardware
platforms. MICROS still retains an in-house design capability. See also
Manufacturing in Part I of this Form 10-K.
MICROS-Fidelio's hotel PMS, CRS, and CIS development is primarily
conducted in Naples, Florida. This office has a staff of approximately 107
employees and 42 consultants. The office became the primary development center
upon the 1998 closure of MICROS's Munich, Germany office. The Company moved most
of the development to Naples while the remaining resources were relocated to
MICROS's Neuss, Germany office. In addition to the Neuss office, additional
software development is conducted in Tel Aviv, Israel. The multi-location
development base allows MICROS flexibility in conducting software development on
a cost-effective basis maximizing utilization of existing personnel. MICROS
maintains close relationships with major software operating and database
companies such as Oracle, Novell, Sybase, and Microsoft. These relationships are
important to MICROS so it can readily incorporate software changes from these
companies into its products. MICROS's international offices may also conduct
specific product enhancement activities to meet specific interface needs, local
requirements, and customer requests.
Product development for MICROS's hotelBANK subsidiary is conducted in its
operational headquarters in Stockholm, Sweden.
Research and development expenses (exclusive of capitalized software
development costs), which consist primarily of labor costs, amounted to $17.6
million, $14.4 million, and $14.0 million for fiscal years 2000, 1999 and 1998,
respectively. Actual research and development expenditures, including
capitalized software development costs of $8.2 million, $7.9 million, and $9.1
million for fiscal years 2000, 1999 and 1998, respectively, amounted to $25.8
million, $22.3 million, $23.1 million for fiscal years 2000, 1999 and 1998,
respectively.

COMPETITION
The Company believes that its competitive strengths include its
established global distribution and service network, its ability to offer a
broad array of hardware, software and service products to the hospitality
industry and its corporate focus on providing information systems solutions
principally to the hospitality industry.
The markets in which the Company competes are highly competitive. There
are worldwide at least 40 competitors that offer some form of sophisticated POS
system similar to the Company's and over 100 hotel systems competitors.
Competitors in the POS marketplace include full service providers such as Eltrax
(Squirrel POS), GEAC, Hospitality Solutions International, Ibertech (Aloha POS),
Infogenesis, NCR (Compris POS), Panasonic, Par Technology, POSitouch, Radiant
Systems, Tridex (Progressive POS), and hardware providers such as IBM, NCR, and
Aspeon, who market their products in conjunction with independent software
vendors. There are also numerous smaller companies that license their
POS-oriented software with PC-based systems in regional markets around the
world. Additionally, there has been a proliferation of small start-up companies
that are attempting to develop certain hospitality applications to be offered
over the Internet.
Many of the over 100 competitors in the hotel systems market are small
companies with software designed to run on industry standard PCs. There are,
however, various major competitors including AremisSoft, Eltrax (Lodgistix and
Encore PMS), GEAC, MAI Systems, Multi-Systems, Newmarket, Pegasus
(REZsolutions), and Springer-Miller, and property management systems developed
and marketed by major hotel chains for their corporate-owned operations and
franchisees.
The CRS market is highly fragmented, with most central reservation
systems being customized systems for each hotel chain or allied reservation
group. The competitors in this market consist of in-house development efforts by
chains, property management competitors such as Pegasus, Springer-Miller, and
specialized central reservation providers such as Airtours PLC (Lexington
Services) and WizCom International. The market for central reservation systems
is highly competitive.
MICROS believes that the CIS market has various competitors. Those that
offer such a product are generally smaller companies targeting specialized
segments of the market. However, most of the systems in place today are
customized solutions developed by specific chains for their own use. These
customized systems are thus not marketed to other hotel chains. The CIS market
is relatively new, and thus the future growth and direction of such is
uncertain.
MANUFACTURING
The Company's manufacturing program seeks to maintain flexibility and
reduce costs by emphasizing the strategic outsourcing of key products and
subassemblies. Pursuant to an agreement with SCI Systems, Inc. ("SCI"), of
Huntsville, Alabama, MICROS contracts to have its POS terminals, PCWS terminals,
and certain communication boards manufactured by SCI. The Company entered into
this non-exclusive agreement in order to lower its manufacturing costs, expand
the availability of POS and PCWS terminals, and to improve product quality.
The decision to outsource the Company's manufacturing was based upon an
extensive analysis of projected long-term product costs, current and projected
terminal demand relative to internal manufacturing capacity, targeted product
quality levels, and internal design and manufacturing capabilities. The analysis
indicated that MICROS could potentially obtain desired products from SCI at a
lower cost than the Company could produce. SCI also had sufficient assembly
capacity to meet MICROS's forecasted sales demand, and was capable of achieving
targeted product quality levels. MICROS retains a limited manufacturing
capability of certain products. While MICROS believes that there are entities
other than SCI that could provide manufacturing capabilities, any default by SCI
or disruption in its manufacturing process could have a short-term material
adverse impact on the operations of MICROS.
7
8
Material sourcing is based on availability, service, cost, delivery and
quality of the purchased items from domestic and international suppliers. Some
items are custom manufactured to the Company's design specifications. MICROS
believes that the loss of its current sources for components would not have a
material adverse effect on the Company's business since other sources of supply
are generally available. The Company believes it maintains good relationships
with its suppliers.
EMPLOYEES
As of June 30, 2000, the Company had approximately 2,551 full-time
employees. Approximately 1,304, or 51%, of these employees are based in North
America (United States and Canada), with the majority of the US-based employees
located in the Company's Columbia, Maryland headquarters, and the balance of
this group employed principally at the Company's regional district offices,
subsidiaries in Laurel, Maryland, Portsmouth, New Hampshire and Buffalo, New
York and its product development subsidiary in Naples, Florida. Approximately
877, or 35%, of the Company's employees are employed in the Europe/Africa/Middle
East region, 312 employees, or 12% of total employees, are employed in the
Asia/Pacific region, and 58 employees, or 2% of total employees, are located in
the Latin America region. On an aggregate basis, the Company had approximately
2,164 employees in sales/marketing, customer support services and administration
and finance; 312 employees in product development; and 75 employees in
operations. The Company is not a party to any collective bargaining agreements.
None of the Company's employees are represented by a labor union, except in
Germany and France, as mandated by law. MICROS does use certain suppliers whose
employees may be represented by labor unions. MICROS believes it maintains good
relations with its employees.
FOREIGN SALES AND FOREIGN MARKET RISK
The Company recorded foreign sales, including exports from the United
States, of approximately $190.9 million during fiscal 2000 to customers located
primarily in Europe, Africa, the Middle East, Australia, Asia, Latin America and
Canada. Comparable sales in fiscal 1999 were $171.6 million and in fiscal 1998
were $150.0 million. See Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial
Condition and Results of Operations for discussion of the Company's currency
mix with regard to revenues. See Note 14 of Notes to Consolidated Financial
Statements for additional geographic data.
MICROS's significant international business and presence does expose the
Company to certain market risks, such as currency, interest rate and political
risks. With respect to currency risk, the Company transacts business in over 28
different currencies through its foreign subsidiaries. The fluctuation of
currencies impacts sales and profitability. Frequently, sales and the costs
associated with such sales are not always denominated in the same currency.
Given the fact that the Company transacts business in many different currencies,
adverse declines in certain currencies can be offset by favorable advances in
other currencies. Recent weakness in certain European currencies has, however,
adversely impacted the financial performance of the Company.
Additionally, the Company is subject to interest rate fluctuations in
foreign countries to the extent that the Company elects to borrow in the local
foreign currency. In the past, this has not been an issue of concern as the
Company has the capacity to elect to borrow in other currencies with more
favorable interest rates. While the Company has not to date invested in
financial instruments designed to protect against interest rate fluctuations,
the Company will continue to evaluate the need to do so in the future.
Further, the Company is subject to political risk, especially in
developing countries with uncertain or unstable political structures or regimes.
The Company is also subject to the effects of, and changes in, laws and
regulations, other activities of governments, agencies and similar
organizations. The Company does not believe at this time that it is exposed to
unusual political risk that could have a material adverse impact on the Company.
Finally, the Company's unsecured committed line of credit bears interest
at a floating rate of interest. It does not invest in financial instruments
designed to protect against interest rate fluctuations, although it will
continue to evaluate the need to do so in the future.

PATENTS
The Company holds no patents and believes that its competitive position
is not materially dependent upon patent protection. The technology used in the
design and manufacture of most of the Company's hardware products is generally
known and available to others. With respect to the Company's software products,
it relies on nondisclosure agreements, and an array of U.S. and foreign
copyright laws for protection. In the U.S. and in most countries, it is believed
that both statutory and common law provides the Company with a certain level of
protection. Notwithstanding the above, there is a risk that third party
entities, including competitors, could attempt to misappropriate the Company's
intellectual property. Given this potential risk, the Company has implemented
certain procedures to monitor misappropriation of its intellectual property.
FLUCTUATIONS AND CUSTOMERS
The Company's quarterly operating results have varied in the past and may
vary in the future depending upon such factors as the timing of new product
introductions, changes in the pricing and promotion policies of the Company and
its competitors, market acceptance of new products and enhanced versions of
existing products and the capital expenditure budgets of its customers.
Moreover, the Company has experienced increased seasonality of its business,
given the continued increase of international sales. In particular, with the
European summer holiday, the Company generally anticipates lower sales volume in
the first fiscal quarter relative to other quarters. Additionally, with the
relative slowdown in corporate buying at the beginning of the calendar year,
which is MICROS's third fiscal quarter, revenue growth in the third quarter over
the preceding second quarter may not equal the Company's overall fiscal
year-to-year growth rate. Nonetheless, the Company believes that
quarter-to-quarter historic comparisons of its results are not necessarily
meaningful or indicative of future performance.
No single customer accounts for 10% or more of the Company's consolidated
revenues, nor is any portion of the Company's business subject to renegotiation
of profits or termination of contracts or subcontracts at the election of the
U.S. Federal Government.
ENVIRONMENTAL MATTERS
The Company believes that it is in compliance in all material respects
with all applicable environmental laws and does not anticipate that such
compliance will have a material effect on its future capital expenditures,
earnings or competitive position with respect to any of its operations.
BACKLOG
The Company generally has a backlog of approximately one month's revenue,
substantially all of which is cancelable at any time prior to shipment, although
historically few orders have been canceled. As of June 30, 2000, 1999, and 1998,
the backlog totaled approximately $43.0 million, $44.3 million, and $26.7
million, respectively.
OTHER
The Company currently has a $45.0 million multi-currency unsecured
committed line of credit expiring on December 31, 2000. Prior to this upcoming
expiration date, the Company anticipates that it will renew this line of credit
for an additional one-year period. The Company has the one-time option to
convert the line of credit into a three-year secured term loan upon expiration
of the line of credit. Interest due under the line of credit will be calculated
as follows: (i) in the event the advance is in U.S. dollars, at the option of
the Company, either the bank's prime rate minus one half of one percent (.50%)
per annum, or the LIBOR rate plus one and one eighth percent (1.125%) per annum;
or (ii) in the event the advance is made in a currency other than the U.S.
dollar, the LIBOR rate for the applicable denominated currency selected, plus
one and one eighth percent (1.125%) per annum. Interest due under the three-year
secured term loan shall be, at the option of the Company, the prime rate or the
treasury bill rate (adjusted to a constant maturity of three years) plus two and
one quarter percent (2.25%). Under the terms of the current loan agreement, the
Company may borrow up to $45.0 million less the amount of
9
10
outstanding letters of credit. As of June 30, 2000, there were no borrowings on
this line of credit, however there is approximately $7.8 million in outstanding
letters of credit. Amounts outstanding under the line are payable on demand and
are not secured by the assets of the Company. The agreement requires the Company
to satisfy certain financial covenants. In addition, the agreement limits the
assumption of additional indebtedness and restricts the Company's payment of
dividends other than stock dividends.
In addition, the Company also has a credit relationship from a European
bank in the amount of DM 15.0 million (approximately $7.3 million at the June
30, 2000 exchange rate). Under the terms of this facility, the Company may
borrow in the form of either a line of credit or term debt. Under the credit
facility, the Company has a balance of DM 5.0 million (approximately $2.4
million at the June 30, 2000 exchange rate) in the form of balloon debt and has
no line of credit borrowings (see Notes 5 and 6 of Notes to Consolidated
Financial Statements).
Also, due to a recent acquisition, the Company has a line of credit and a
line for term loans of $0.7 million. The agreement requires the Company to
satisfy certain financial covenants. The line of credit can be borrowed in
either U.S. dollars or Canadian dollars. The interest rate charged is the prime
rate plus 1 percent (1%). As of June 30, 2000, the Company has a balance of $0.5
million outstanding on the line of credit and $0.1 million outstanding in term
loans (see Notes 5 and 6 of Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements).
As of May 2000, the Company has a $1.2 million promissory note with the
Maryland Department of Business and Economic Development. The loan is for ten
years at an interest rate of two percent per annum. As of June 30, 2000, the
outstanding loan balance is $1.2 million (see Note 6 of Notes to Consolidated
Financial Statements).
In summary, as of June 30, 2000, the Company has borrowed approximately
$4.2 million, has $7.8 million outstanding in letters of credits, and has
approximately $42.2 million available to borrow. There was $0.5 million
outstanding under the lines of credit. The Company's DM-denominated borrowings
under these credit facilities amounted to DM 5.0 million (approximately $2.4
million at the June 30, 2000 exchange rate).
Certain MICROS foreign subsidiaries maintain additional lines of credit,
none of which is considered material.
RECENT DEVELOPMENTS

BUSINESS AND INVESTMENT RISKS; INFORMATION RELATING TO FORWARD-LOOKING
STATEMENTS
The Company has experienced rapid revenue growth at a rate that it
believes has significantly exceeded that of the global market for point-of-sale
computer systems and property management information systems products for the
hospitality industry. In light of current market conditions, the Company does
not expect to maintain growth at historic levels in the next year, and there can
be no assurance that any particular level of growth can be achieved. In
addition, due to the competitive nature of the market, the Company continues to
experience gross margin pressure on its products and service offerings, and the
Company expects product and service margins to decline. There can be no
assurance that the Company will be able to continue to increase sufficiently
sales of its higher margin products, including software, to prevent future
declines in the Company's overall gross margin.
10
11
Moreover, MICROS's financial results in any single quarter are dependent
upon the timing and size of customer orders and the shipment of products for
large orders. Large software orders from customers may account for more than an
insignificant portion of earnings in any quarter. The customers with whom MICROS
does the largest amount of business are expected to vary from year to year as a
result of the timing for the roll-out of each customer's system. Furthermore, if
a customer delays or accelerates its delivery requirements or a product's
completion is delayed or accelerated, revenues expected in a given quarter may
be deferred or accelerated into subsequent or earlier quarters.
The market price of MICROS Common Stock is volatile, and may be subject
to significant fluctuations in response to variations in MICROS's quarterly
operating results and other factors such as announcements of technological
developments or new products by MICROS, customer roll-outs, technological
advances by existing and new competitors, and general market conditions in the
hospitality industry. In addition, conditions in the stock market in general and
shares of technology companies in particular have experienced significant price
and volume fluctuations which have at times been unrelated to the operating
performance of companies.
The statements contained herein not based on historic facts are
forward-looking statements, within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities
Act of 1933, as amended, and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934,
as amended, that involve risks and uncertainties. Past performance is not
necessarily a strong or reliable indicator of future performance. Actual results
could differ materially from past results, estimates, projections, or
forward-looking statements made by, or on behalf of, MICROS. Primary risks are
disclosed in the Company's press releases and periodic SEC filings. Some of the
additional risks and uncertainties include the following:
- -- MICROS's actions in connection with continued and increasing price and
product competition in many product areas, including but not limited to PC
Workstations, and the impact on sales margins for those items;
- -- Difficulties or delays in the development, production, testing and marketing
of products, including a failure to deliver new products and technologies when
scheduled, announced or generally anticipated; the failure of customers to
accept these products or technologies when planned; any defects in products;
MICROS's inability to differentiate its products; and a failure of manufacturing
efforts, whether internal or through MICROS's third party manufacturing
entities;
- -- The inherent difficulties in accurately forecasting buying patterns
(especially since more than an insignificant portion of the business is "street"
business that cannot be easily predicted), and appropriately staffing and
preparing for vacillations in buying demand;
- -- Implementation of a cost-effective service structure capable of servicing
increasingly complex software systems in increasingly more remote locations;
additional costs and expenses associated with servicing and supporting open
systems, which generally incorporate third party software products (the support
and service of which may be more difficult and costly);
- -- Unanticipated manufacturing, supply, service or labor difficulties
experienced by certain large MICROS vendors, including SCI Systems, Inc.,
resulting in a disruption or discontinuation of the services or products
provided to MICROS;
- -- The technological risks of large customer roll-outs, especially where the
contracts involve new technology such as the MICROS-Fidelio integrated hotel
information system known as Opera, or third party software; and installation of
which the customer contracts with MICROS to provide;
- -- The ability to respond quickly and cost-effectively to the introduction of
new technologies, including Internet-based technologies;
11
12
- -- Because more than half of MICROS's sales are outside the U.S., MICROS's
results could be significantly affected by weak economic conditions in countries
in which it does business, and emerging markets in which there tend to be
significant growth, and by changes in foreign currency exchange rates affecting
those countries;
- -- The ability of MICROS to recruit and retain engineers and other
highly-skilled personnel, especially in light of increasingly tight labor
markets in the technology industry;
- -- Controlling expenses associated with the expansion of the Company's
infrastructure necessitated by customer service obligations and the increasing
complexity of the Company's product set;
- -- Although MICROS attempts to protect its proprietary technology through a
combination of trade secrets, patent and copyright law, nondisclosure agreements
and technical measures, such protection may not preclude competitors from
developing products with features similar to MICROS's products;
- -- The costs and other effects of legal and administrative cases and
proceedings, settlements and investigations, claims, and changes in those items,
and developments or assertions by or against MICROS relating to intellectual
property rights and intellectual property licenses;
- -- The effects of, and changes in, laws and regulations, other activities of
governments, agencies and similar organizations, insofar as legislative change
can affect local operations and the features that may have to be incorporated
into the Company's software sets;
- -- Unanticipated impact of issues relating to the adoption and implementation of
a common currency, the Euro, by the European Economic and Monetary Union;
unanticipated litigation expenses relating to the adoption and implementation of
the Euro, including suits where MICROS is named as a result of MICROS products
interfacing to third party non-compliant products.
ITEM 2. PROPERTIES
The Company's new worldwide corporate headquarters are located in a new
facility in Columbia, Maryland. Pursuant to the terms of a 10-year lease
agreement (the "Orix Agreement"), MICROS leases the entire five story structure,
consisting of 250,000 square feet, from Orix Columbia, Inc., a wholly-owned
subsidiary of Orix USA Corporation. The Orix Agreement also provides MICROS with
the right to demand the construction of a new building adjacent to the new
corporate headquarters building, thereby providing MICROS with expansion space,
if subsequently required. The Company's executive offices are located at the
Columbia facility. The Company also conducts sales, marketing, customer support
and product development activities at this location.
MICROS continues to maintain a 60,000 square foot facility in Beltsville,
Maryland. MICROS conducts light assembly, manufacturing, repair and
configuration in this facility. MICROS leases the Beltsville facility pursuant
to a lease expiring July 31, 2001.
The MICROS-Fidelio hotel group's headquarters, where the Company conducts
a significant portion of the PMS sales, marketing and customer support
activities, is located in Neuss, Germany. Currently, the Company leases
approximately 42,000 square feet in a Neuss office building pursuant to a lease
agreement expiring in May 2002, with an option to renew for an additional
five-year term.
Further, the Company leases approximately 33,000 square feet in Naples,
Florida, where the Company develops software, including the Opera suite of
products, for the hotel industry.
To satisfy other sales, service and support, and product development
needs, the Company leases space in 23 cities domestically, including Boston,
Chicago, Los Angeles and other major metropolitan areas, and in over 32 cities
internationally, including London, Paris, Stockholm, Sydney and Hong Kong.
In general, the Company believes that additional space will be available
as needed.

ITEM 3. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS
MICROS is and has been involved in legal proceedings arising in the
normal course of business. The Company is of the opinion, based upon presently
available information and the advice of counsel concerning pertinent legal
matters, that any resulting liability should not have a material adverse effect
on the Company's results of operations or financial position.
On March 25, 1997, Budgetel Inns, Inc. ("Budgetel") filed suit against
MICROS in the United States Federal District Court in the Eastern District of
Wisconsin. Budgetel alleges, among other things, that MICROS breached a March
1993 software support agreement by failing to provide full support to this
software package licensed to Budgetel in 1993. MICROS filed its answer to the
complaint in September of 1999. MICROS also filed a counterclaim against
Budgetel, alleging breach of contract and defamation. Although the discovery
phase of the litigation has been substantially completed, no trial date has been
scheduled. While the ultimate outcome of litigation is uncertain, and while
litigation is inherently difficult to predict, the Company is of the opinion,
based upon presently available information and the advice of counsel concerning
pertinent legal matters, that resulting liability, if any, should not have a
material adverse effect on the Company's results of operations or financial
position.
ITEM 4. SUBMISSION OF MATTERS TO A VOTE OF SECURITY HOLDERS

ITEM 7. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS
OF OPERATIONS
Results of Operations
Comparison of Fiscal 2000 to Fiscal 1999:
For the first three quarters of fiscal 2000, net income was higher than
fiscal 1999 primarily due to higher sales volumes. However, due to market
conditions in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2000, the sales volume was
significantly lower than fiscal 1999. Market conditions that adversely impacted
the Company's financial performance in fiscal 2000 include: (i) slowdown in
information technology purchases due to Year 2000 driven purchases in calendar
1999; (ii) longer and delayed sales cycles due to the introduction of new and/or
untested technologies, such as Internet-based technologies; and (iii) European
currency weakness relative to the dollar. Therefore, operating expenses as a
percentage of sales increased primarily due to the Company not achieving the
anticipated sales growth in the fourth quarter. As a result, the Company
recorded diluted net income of $0.91 per common share in fiscal 2000, compared
with diluted net income of $1.60 per common share in fiscal 1999.
The Company forecasts revenue for the first and second quarter of fiscal
year 2001 to be equal to or less than that of the fourth quarter of fiscal year
2000.
Revenue of $359.7 million for fiscal 2000 increased $24.6 million, or
7.3%, compared to the same period last year. A comparison of the sales mix for
fiscal years 2000 and 1999 is as follows:
Year Ended June 30,
------------------------
Percent of total revenue 2000 1999
----- ----
Hardware 41.7% 46.0%
Software 18.4% 18.7%
Service 39.9% 35.3%

100.0% 100.0%
====== ======

16
Both hardware and software sales decreased as a percentage of total
revenue in fiscal 2000 in comparison to fiscal 1999 primarily due to the
continued growth of the Company's service business. Service sales increased in
comparison to fiscal 1999, primarily due to increased installation and support
revenues.
Combined hardware and software revenues for fiscal 2000 decreased $0.3
million, or 0.1%, while service revenues increased $24.9 million or 21.0%, over
the same period a year earlier.
The Company's revenue for fiscal 2000 was transacted in approximately
twenty-eight currencies, while in fiscal years 1999 and 1998, the Company's
revenue was transacted in approximately twenty-four and twenty-five currencies,
respectively. The relative mix over the past three years is as follows:

(1) Calculated using average exchange rates for the year.
(2) Represents approximately 19 currencies in fiscal 2000, approximately 15
currencies in fiscal year 1999 and approximately 16 currencies in fiscal year
1998.
Cost of sales, as a percentage of revenue, increased to 51.5% from 51.0%
for fiscal 2000 compared to fiscal 1999. Cost of sales for hardware and software
products, as a percentage of related revenue, was 52.5% in fiscal 2000 and in
fiscal 1999. Included in the fiscal year 2000 software cost of sales figure is
approximately $1.0 million for the discontinuance of the 3400 product line which
occurred in the fourth quarter.
Service costs, as a percentage of service revenue, increased to 50.0% in
fiscal 2000 compared to 48.2% in fiscal 1999. The increased costs in comparison
to fiscal 1999 were primarily due to service costs increasing at a rate in
excess of service revenues and due to additional expenses incurred in the second
quarter to resolve potential Year 2000 issues.
Selling, general and administrative expenses increased $25.4 million, or
28.0%, in fiscal 2000 compared to fiscal 1999. As a percentage of revenue,
selling, general and administrative expenses increased to 32.3% in fiscal 2000
compared to 27.1% in fiscal 1999. The increase is due primarily to acquisitions,
additional bad debt expense and additional rent expense for the new corporate
headquarters building in fiscal 2000 compared to fiscal 1999. The increase is
also due to increased personnel costs to meet current and anticipated sales
growth that did not occur in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2000.
Research and development expenses (exclusive of capitalized software
development costs), which consist primarily of labor costs, increased $3.2
million, or 22.0%, in fiscal 2000 compared to fiscal 1999. As a percentage of
revenue, research and development expenses (exclusive of capitalized software
development costs) increased to 4.9% in fiscal 2000 compared to 4.3% in fiscal
1999. Actual research and development expenditures, including capitalized
software development costs of $8.2 million in fiscal 2000 and $7.9 million in
fiscal 1999, increased $3.4 million, or 15.2%, compared to the same period a
year earlier. As a percentage of revenue, research and development expenditures
(inclusive of capitalized software development costs) amounted to 7.2% in fiscal
2000 compared to 6.7% in fiscal 1999. The increase in absolute dollars is
primarily due to increased expenditures for the Company's restaurant business.
16
17
Office closure costs of $0.4 million in fiscal 1999 relate to charges
recorded in connection with the permanent closure of the Company's Munich,
Germany facility in the fourth quarter of fiscal 1998. The costs in fiscal 1999
relate to the relocation of former Munich employees to their new places of
employment within the Company.
Depreciation and amortization increased $1.4 million, or 14.1%, in fiscal
2000 compared to fiscal 1999. As a percentage of revenue, depreciation and
amortization increased to 3.1% in fiscal 2000 compared to 2.9% in fiscal 1999.
The increase is due primarily to the acquisitions that were made in fiscal 2000.
Income from operations for fiscal 2000 was $29.5 million, or 8.2% of
revenue, compared to income of $48.6 million in fiscal 1999, or 14.5% of
revenue. The Company's lower income from operations is primarily due to higher
operating expenses as a percentage of sales as a result of the Company not
achieving the anticipated sales growth in the fourth quarter.
Interest income for 2000 increased $0.4 million, or 82.5%, compared to
fiscal 1999. The increase is due primarily to the Company's higher average cash
balance during fiscal year 2000 compared to fiscal year 1999. Interest expense
decreased $1.9 million, or 72.9%, compared to fiscal 1999. The decrease in
interest expense for the period is primarily due to the Company's lower average
debt level during fiscal 2000 in comparison to the same period a year ago.
The effective tax rate for fiscal 2000 was 40.3% compared to 40.8% for
fiscal 1999. The effective tax rate for fiscal 2001 is not anticipated to vary
significantly from that of fiscal 2000.
The European Union ("EU") filed a challenge against the U.S. Foreign
Sales corporation ("FSC") tax provisions with the World Trade Organization
("WTO"). On February 25, 2000, the WTO issued a final decision upholding this
challenge. Officials representing the United States on trade issues continue to
seek resolution through a negotiated settlement. It is currently not possible to
predict what impact, if any, this issue will have on future earnings pending
final resolution of the matter with the WTO, EU, and the United States.
Comparison of Fiscal 1999 to Fiscal 1998:
The Company recorded diluted net income of $1.60 per common share in
fiscal 1999, compared with diluted net income of $1.18 per common share in
fiscal 1998. The increase in net income was primarily attributable to higher
sales volumes generating a higher gross margin in absolute dollars, offset
partially by increased cost of sales, operating expenses and other non-operating
expenses.
Revenue of $335.1 million for fiscal 1999 increased $54.8 million, or
19.6%, compared to the same period last year. A comparison of the sales mix for
fiscal years 1999 and 1998 was as follows:
Year Ended June 30,
--------------------
Percent of total revenue 1999 1998
----- ----
Hardware 46.0% 44.7%
Software 18.7% 20.6%
Service 35.3% 34.7%
------ ------
100.0% 100.0%
====== ======
Software sales represented a smaller proportion of total sales in fiscal
1999 in comparison to fiscal 1998, although this category continued to grow in
absolute dollars. Hardware sales reflected strong demand for the Company's PC
Workstation and computers purchased for re-sale. Service sales increased in
comparison to fiscal 1998, primarily due to the additional service work
attributable to increased sales volumes along with the maintenance revenues
associated with new and existing customers.
Combined hardware and software revenues for fiscal 1999 increased $33.5
million, or 18.3%, while service revenues increased $21.3 million or 21.9%, over
the same period a year earlier.

The Company's revenue for fiscal 1999 was transacted in approximately
twenty-four currencies, while in fiscal years 1998 and 1997, the Company's
revenue was transacted in approximately twenty-five and twenty currencies,
respectively. The relative mix over the past three years was as follows:

1997.
Cost of sales, as a percentage of revenue, increased to 51.0% from 50.9%
for fiscal 1999 compared to fiscal 1998. Cost of sales for hardware and software
products, as a percentage of related revenue, was 52.5% in fiscal 1999 compared
to 50.2% for the same period a year earlier. The increase in cost of sales was
primarily due to decreased margins on hardware sales and a lower proportion of
higher margin software sales included in the sales mix.
Service costs, as a percentage of service revenue, decreased to 48.2% in
fiscal 1999 compared to 52.2% in fiscal 1998. The decreased costs in comparison
to fiscal 1998 were primarily due to continued expansion of the Company's
customer base and the ability to increase service revenues at a rate in excess
of service costs.
Selling, general and administrative expenses increased $12.2 million, or
15.5%, in fiscal 1999 compared to fiscal 1998. As a percentage of revenue,
selling, general and administrative expenses decreased to 27.1% in fiscal 1999
compared to 28.1% in fiscal 1998 as sales grew at a rate in excess of these
expenses. The decrease as a percentage of revenue was primarily due to the
Company's continued and successful efforts to reduce the growth in its selling,
general and administrative expenses.
Research and development expenses (exclusive of capitalized software
development costs), which consist primarily of labor costs, increased $0.4
million, or 3.2%, in fiscal 1999 compared to fiscal 1998. As a percentage of
revenue, research and development expenses (exclusive of capitalized software
development costs) decreased to 4.3% in fiscal 1999 compared to 5.0% in fiscal
1998. Actual research and development expenditures, including capitalized
software development costs of $7.9 million in fiscal 1999 and $9.1 million in
fiscal 1998, decreased $0.7 million, or 3.1%, compared to the same period a year
earlier. As a percentage of revenue, research and development expenditures
(inclusive of capitalized software development costs) amounted to 6.7% in fiscal
1999 compared to 8.2% in fiscal 1998. The decrease in absolute dollars was
primarily due to decreased expenditures for development of the Company's hotel
systems products, largely as a result of eliminating high-cost outside software
consultants/developers, or replacing such with lower-cost software development
employees.
Office closure costs of $0.4 million in fiscal 1999 and $2.2 million in
the fourth quarter of fiscal 1998 relate to charges recorded in connection with
the permanent closure of the Company's Munich, Germany facility. The costs in
fiscal 1999 relate to the relocation of former Munich employees to their new
places of employment within the Company. The costs in fiscal 1998 represented
primarily severance benefits for terminated employees along with a provision to
accrue for the remaining lease commitment at that location.
Income from operations for fiscal 1999 was $48.6 million, or 14.5% of
revenue, compared to income of $34.1 million in fiscal 1998, or 12.2% of
revenue. The Company's higher income from operations was primarily due to
18
19
higher sales and lower operating expenses as a percentage of sales. Excluding
the impact of the Munich office closure, income from operations would have been
$49.1 million or 14.6% of revenue in fiscal 1999, compared to $36.3 million or
13.0% of revenue in fiscal 1998.
Interest income for 1999 increased $0.2 million, or 81.8%, compared to
fiscal 1998. The increase was due primarily to the Company's higher average cash
balance during the fourth quarter of fiscal 1999. Interest expense increased
$0.8 million, or 44.8%, compared to fiscal 1998. The increase in interest
expense for the period was primarily due to the Company's increase in its line
of credit borrowings for the first nine months of fiscal 1999, which were
substantially paid off in the fourth quarter of fiscal 1999.
The effective tax rate for fiscal 1999 was 40.8% compared to 38.8% for
fiscal 1998. The increase was due to a shift in the mix of earnings towards
countries with higher tax rates. The effective tax rate for fiscal 2000 was not
anticipated to vary significantly from that of fiscal 1999.
The cumulative effect of a change in accounting principle represents a
one-time after-tax charge of $0.4 million, or $0.02 per common share in fiscal
1998. This one-time charge, which was $0.7 million on a pre-tax basis, stems
from a charge taken in the second quarter of fiscal 1998 in conjunction with a
ruling issued by the Financial Accounting Standards Board Emerging Issues Task
Force, EITF Issue No. 97-13. This ruling required all previously capitalized
business process re-engineering costs incurred in conjunction with a technology
transformation project to be immediately expensed in the Company's quarter
ending December 31, 1997. Additionally, all such future costs are to be expensed
as incurred. The charge represents the business process re-engineering costs
capitalized through December 31, 1997 relating to MICROS's installation of a new
management information system. Prior to this ruling, these costs had been
capitalized and were to be amortized over the useful life of the system.
Year 2000
In 1997, the Company created a corporate-wide Year 2000 project team
representing all business units of the Company. The "Year 2000 Issue" is the
result of computer programs being written using two digits rather than four to
define the applicable year. Any of the Company's computer programs that have
time-sensitive software may recognize a date using "00" as the year 1900 rather
than the year 2000. The team was divided into three segments, each of which was
tasked with analyzing one of the following three sets of issues: (i) Year 2000
compliance issues with respect to Company internal information technology
systems and non-information technology systems; (ii) Year 2000 compliance issues
with respect to the information systems of certain key Company vendors and
suppliers; and (iii) Year 2000 compliance issues with respect to Company
products that the Company sells and licenses to its worldwide customer base.
On the basis of information currently available, MICROS believes that it
did not experience any material problems relating to the Year 2000 issues. While
MICROS did uncover certain minor issues relating to date dependent data, none
were material and all were promptly addressed. Accordingly, the Year 2000 task
force had been disbanded in February 2000. Any remaining issues that may surface
will be handled through the Company's customer service organization.
Nonetheless, the Company will continue to monitor products to attempt to assure
that there are no uncorrected problems. While the Company believes it has
diligently addressed the Year 2000 issues and that it has satisfactorily
resolved any Year 2000 problems, it is possible hitherto undetected problems
could be uncovered in the future.
Year 2000 Compliance Costs
To date, the Company has expensed all incremental costs related to the
Year 2000 analysis and remediation efforts. Internal and external costs
specifically associated with modifying software for the Year 2000 have been
charged to expense as incurred. All of these costs were funded through operating
cash flows. Management's current estimate (including the Year 2000 issues
identified to date) is that the costs associated with the Year 2000 issue have
not and will not in the future have a material adverse effect on the results of
operations or financial
19
20
position of the Company in any given quarter. To date, not including the costs
incurred to upgrade the Company's internal management information systems, the
Company has incurred approximately $2.2 million in expenditures related to the
Year 2000 issue. Costs capitalized to date to implement the Company's new Year
2000 compliant internal management information systems, which address a large
variety of informational and processing needs, are approximately $8.5 million.
Euro Conversion
On January 1, 1999, certain member nations of the European Economic and
Monetary Union ("EMU") adopted a common currency, the Euro. For a three-year
transition period, both the Euro and individual participants' currencies will
remain in circulation. After June 30, 2002, the Euro will be the sole legal
tender for EMU countries. The adoption of the Euro will affect a multitude of
financial systems and business applications as the commerce of these nations
will be transacted in the Euro and the existing national currency during the
transition period. As of June 30, 2000, of the eleven countries currently
admitted to the EMU, the Company has subsidiary operations in six of those
countries and distributor relationships in the remaining five countries.
MICROS is currently addressing Euro related issues and its impact on
information systems, currency exchange rate risk, taxation, contracts,
competition and pricing. Action plans currently being implemented are expected
to result in compliance with all laws and regulations; however, there can be no
certainty that such plans will be successfully implemented or that external
factors will not have an adverse effect on the Company's operations. Moreover,
there is still some uncertainty with respect to the interpretation of certain
Euro regulations, and the impact of the regulations on the Company's Euro
implementation. Any costs associated with the adoption of the Euro will be
expensed as incurred. The Company currently does not expect these costs to be
material to its results of operations, financial condition or liquidity.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
The Company has a $45.0 million multi-currency unsecured committed line
of credit expiring on December 31, 2000. Prior to this upcoming expiration date,
the Company anticipates that it will renew this line of credit for an additional
one-year period. The Company has the one-time option to convert the line of
credit into a three-year secured term loan upon expiration of the line of
credit. As of June 30, 2000, there are no borrowings on this line of credit.
In addition, the Company has a credit relationship from a European bank
in the amount of DM 15.0 million (approximately $7.3 million at the June 30,
2000 exchange rate). Under the terms of this facility, the Company may borrow in
the form of either a line of credit or term debt. Under the credit facility, the
Company has a balance of DM 5.0 million (approximately $2.4 million at the June
30, 2000 exchange rate) in the form of balloon debt and has no line of credit
borrowings. As the Company has significant international operations, its
DM-denominated borrowings do not represent a significant foreign exchange risk.
Also, due to a recent acquisition, the Company has a line of credit and a
line for term loans of $0.7 million. The agreement requires the Company to
satisfy certain financial covenants. The line of credit can be borrowed in
either U.S. dollars or Canadian dollars. The interest rate charged is the prime
rate plus 1 percent (1%). As of June 30, 2000, the Company has a balance of $0.5
million outstanding on the line of credit and $0.1 million outstanding in term
loans.
Net cash provided by operating activities for fiscal 2000 was $23.3
million versus $48.0 million for fiscal 1999. The reduction in net cash for
fiscal 2000 relative to fiscal 1999 was caused, by among other factors: (i)
slowdown in information technology purchases due to Year 2000 driven purchases
in calendar 1999; (ii) longer and delayed sales cycles due to the introduction
of new and/or untested technologies, such as Internet-based technologies; and
(iii) European currency weakness relative to the dollar. The income tax benefit
from the exercise of disqualified and non-qualified stock options provided $12.2
million in fiscal 2000 and $0.4 million in fiscal 1999. The Company used $36.7
million for investing activities in fiscal 2000, including $21.8 million for the
purchase of property, plant, and equipment and internally developed software and
$14.9 million for business acquisitions,
20
21
purchase of district assets and equity interests. Net financing activities for
fiscal 2000 provided $16.9 million, primarily stemming from the issuance of
stock under the Company's stock option plan. Proceeds from the issuance of stock
provided $18.8 million for fiscal 2000 and $1.8 million for fiscal 1999.
Proceeds of $15.3 million was provided by borrowings on the line of credit and
long term debt during fiscal 2000 which was offset by $17.1 million in
repayments on the lines of credit, long term debt and capital lease obligations.
In May 2000, the Company obtained a $1.2 million promissory note with the
Maryland Department of Business and Economic Development for the purchase of new
furniture for the new corporate office in Columbia, Maryland. As a result of all
of the above, the cash position of the Company at June 30, 2000 was $26.2
million. All cash is being held for the operation and expansion of the business.
The Company anticipates that its cash flow from operations along with
available lines of credit, in conjunction with other lines of credit for which
the Company may be eligible or lines of credit to be renewed or converted into
term debt, are sufficient to provide the working capital needs of the Company
for the foreseeable future. The Company anticipates that its rate of property,
plant and equipment expenditures for fiscal 2001 will decrease approximately
$4.6 million over fiscal 2000 expenditures.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT ACCOUNTANTS
To the Board of Directors and Shareholders of MICROS Systems, Inc.
In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements listed in the index
appearing under Item 14(a)(1) and Item 14(a)(2) on page 26 present fairly, in
all material respects, the financial position of MICROS Systems, Inc. and its
subsidiaries at June 30, 2000 and 1999, and the results of their operations and
their cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended June 30, 2000,
in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States
of America. In addition, in our opinion, the financial statement schedules
listed in the accompanying index present fairly, in all material aspects, the
information set forth therein when read in conjunction with the related
consolidated financial statements. These financial statements and the financial
statement schedules are the responsibility of the Company's management; our
responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements and
financial statement schedules based on our audits. We conducted our audits of
these statements and the financial statement schedules in accordance with
auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America, which
require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about
whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit
includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and
disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles
used and significant estimates made by management, and evaluating the overall
financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a
reasonable basis for our opinion.

thousands):
In June 2000, the Company acquired all of the stock of Frontier Business
Technologies, Inc. ("FBTI"), Frontier infoSystems of North America, Inc.
("FIS") and Frontier Business Technologies of Canada, Inc. ("FBTC"). All
three companies were owned by the same shareholder. The purchase price
for all three companies combined was $1,925, which was accrued in June
2000 and paid in July 2000 (See Note 2 of Notes to Consolidated Financial
Statements). Additionally, the selling shareholder may earn five earn-out
payments over a 60 month period. The payment, if any, and the amount
shall be determined by an earn-out formula, based on FBTI, FIS and FBTC
revenues. The pro forma effects of this acquisition are immaterial and
are not presented.
In October 1999, the Company acquired all of the stock of OPUS 2 Revenue
Technologies, Inc. ("OPUS"), pursuant to the terms of a stock purchase
agreement. Based in Portsmouth, New Hampshire, OPUS engages in the
development, marketing and sale of yield and revenue management software
systems designed for the hospitality industry. The purchase price of
$4,800 for OPUS consists of an up-front payment of both cash of $3,800
and MICROS stock valued at approximately $1,000. The Company issued
24,510 shares (in whole shares) of restricted common stock to the former
owners. An additional payment of $450 was paid in January 2000 for the
purchase of OPUS. Goodwill related to this acquisition was $6,230 at June
30, 2000, and is being amortized over seven years. Additionally, the
former shareholders have the right to earn: (i) three earn-out payments
based on OPUS revenues, for the three periods ending 9 months (for which
no earn-out payment was due or paid as of June 30, 2000), 21 months, and
33 months after the closing of the transaction; and (ii) a performance
payment based on the completion of the development of certain new
software. The pro forma effects of this acquisition are immaterial and
are not presented.
In February 1999, MICROS entered into an amendment to a capital lease for
one of the corporate headquarters buildings. In connection with this
transaction, the carrying values of the combined land and building of
$3,470 along with the capital lease obligation of $3,205 were removed
from the balance sheet.

(in thousands, except per share data)
1. Description of business and summary of significant accounting policies:
Description of business
MICROS is a leading worldwide designer, manufacturer, supplier and
servicer of point-of-sale ("POS") systems, property management systems
("PMS"), central reservation systems ("CRS") and customer information
systems ("CIS") software for hospitality providers, including table
service and quick service restaurants, restaurants located in hotels and
other lodging establishments, casinos, sports arenas, theme parks,
hotels, motels and resorts. (References to "MICROS" or the "Company"
herein include the operations of MICROS Systems, Inc. and its
subsidiaries on a consolidated basis.)
Basis of preparation
The consolidated financial statements are prepared in accordance with
generally accepted accounting principles. Inherent in this process are
estimates and assumptions made by management that affect the amounts
reported in the Company's financial statements and accompanying notes.
Although these estimates are based on management's knowledge of current
events and actions it may undertake in the future, actual results may
ultimately differ from estimates.
Principles of consolidation
The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company
and its majority-owned subsidiaries. The earnings in consolidated MICROS
subsidiaries are recorded net of minority interests. Investments in 20%-
through 50%-owned affiliated companies in which the Company exercises
significant influence over operating and financial affairs are included
under the equity method. Otherwise, investments are included at cost. All
significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated.
Foreign currency translation
The financial statements of MICROS's non-U.S. operations are translated
into U.S. dollars for financial reporting purposes. The assets and
liabilities of non-U.S. operations whose functional currencies are other
than the U.S. dollar are translated at rates of exchange at fiscal
year-end, and revenues and expenses are translated at average exchange
rates for the fiscal year. The cumulative translation effects are
reflected in shareholders' equity. Gains and losses on transactions
denominated in other than the functional currency of an operation are
reflected in other income (expense).
Revenue recognition
Revenue from hardware sales is recognized at the time of shipment with a
provision for estimated returns and allowances. Revenue from licensed
software sales is recognized when shipped, with an appropriate deferral
for any undelivered software contract elements, in accordance with
Statement of Position ("SOP") 97-2, "Software Revenue Recognition". This
deferral is earned when significant obligations no longer exist. Revenue
from the installation of products is recognized as the installation of
the product is performed. Service contract revenue is initially recorded
as deferred service revenue and is reflected in operating income on a pro
rata basis over the contract term.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(in thousands, except per share data)
1. Description of business and summary of significant accounting policies,
continued:
Cash equivalents
The Company considers all highly liquid investments purchased with
original maturities of three months or less to be cash equivalents.
Inventories
Inventories are stated at the lower of cost or market. Cost is determined
principally by the first-in, first-out method.
Property, plant and equipment
Property, plant and equipment are stated at cost. Maintenance and repairs
are charged to expense as incurred, and the costs of additions and
improvements are capitalized. Depreciation is provided in amounts which
amortize costs over the useful lives of the related assets, generally
three to ten years for equipment and forty years for building and
building improvements, utilizing the straight-line method. Leasehold
improvements are amortized over the terms of the respective leases or
useful lives of the improvements, whichever is shorter.
Internally used computer software is capitalized according to Statement
of Position 98-1, "Accounting for the Costs of Computer Software
Developed or Obtained for Internal Use". The costs capitalized are
amortized on a straight-line basis over the estimated life of the
software.
Depreciation expense for fiscal 2000, 1999 and 1998, was $6,669, $6,458
and $5,418, respectively.
Warranties
A majority of the Company's products are under warranty for defects in
material and workmanship for a one-year period. The Company establishes
an accrual for estimated warranty costs at the time of sale.
Capitalized software development costs
Software development costs, for software products to be licensed to
others, incurred prior to establishing technological feasibility are
charged to operations and included in research and development costs.
Software development costs incurred after establishing technological
feasibility, and purchased software costs, are capitalized and amortized
on a product-by-product basis when the product is available for general
release to customers. Annual amortization, charged to cost of sales, is
the greater of the amount computed using the ratio that current gross
revenues for a product bear to the total of current and anticipated
future gross revenues for that product, or the straight-line method over
the remaining estimated economic life of the product. Amortization
expense for fiscal 2000, 1999, and 1998, was $3,025, $2,150, and $1,976,
respectively.
Research and development costs
Expenditures for research and development not capitalized as described
above are charged to operations as incurred.

(in thousands, except per share data)
1. Description of business and summary of significant accounting policies,
continued:
Goodwill and intangible assets
Goodwill represents the excess of purchase price over the fair value of
the net assets of acquired subsidiaries and investees. Goodwill and
intangible assets are stated on the basis of cost and are amortized on a
straight-line basis over their estimated periods of benefit, none of
which exceeds 10 years. Recoverability is assessed whenever adverse
events and changes in circumstances indicate that undiscounted cash flows
previously anticipated warrant reassessment.
Financing costs related to long-term debt
Costs associated with obtaining long-term debt are deferred and amortized
over the term of the related debt.
Advertising costs
Advertising costs are charged to expense as incurred. Advertising
expenses for fiscal 2000, 1999 and 1998, were $2,660, $1,948 and $2,474,
respectively.
Income taxes
Deferred tax liabilities and assets are recognized for the expected
future tax consequences of temporary differences between the carrying
amounts and the tax basis of assets and liabilities.
Net income per share
Basic net income per common share is computed by dividing net income by
the weighted-average number of shares outstanding. Diluted net income per
share includes the dilutive effect of stock options.
A reconciliation of the weighted-average number of common shares
outstanding assuming dilution is as follows:

New accounting standards
On November 20, 1997, the Emerging Issues Task Force ("EITF") of the
Financial Accounting Standards Board issued consensus ruling 97-13 which
requires certain business re-engineering and information technology
implementation costs that have previously been capitalized to now be
expensed as incurred. In addition, any previously capitalized costs which
are addressed by EITF 97-13 must also have been written off as a
cumulative adjustment in the quarter containing November 20, 1997.
The cumulative effect of this change in accounting principle represented
a one-time after-tax charge of $412, or $0.02 per common share recorded
in the second quarter of fiscal 1998. Additionally, all such future costs
are to be expensed as incurred. The charge represents the business
process re-engineering costs capitalized through December 31, 1997
relating to MICROS's installation of a new management information system.
Prior to this ruling, these costs had been capitalized and were to be
amortized over the useful life of the system.
In June 1998, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement
of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 133, "Accounting for
Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities". SFAS No. 133 establishes
a new model for accounting for derivatives and hedging activities. The
Company is currently evaluating the impact, if any, of SFAS No. 133.
In December 1999, the Securities and Exchange Commission issued Staff
Accounting Bulletin ("SAB") No. 101, "Revenue Recognition in Financial
Statements". This statement will not have an impact on the Company's
consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows.
In March 2000, the Emerging Issues Task Force issued EITF 00-03,
"Application of Statement of Position 97-2 in Hosting Arrangements". The
software element covered by SOP 97-2 is only present in a hosting
arrangement if the customer has a contractual right to take possession of
the software at any time during the hosting period. Arrangements that do
not give the customer such an option are service contracts outside the
scope of SOP 97-2. This statement will not have an impact on the
Company's consolidated financial position, results of operation or cash
flows.

"Classification in the Statement of Cash Flows of the Income Tax Benefit
Realized by a Company upon Employee Exercise of a Nonqualified Stock

company upon employee exercise should be classified in the operating

2. Acquisitions:
During fiscal 2000 the Company acquired the stock of eight companies. The
combined original purchase price was approximately $13,260, consisting of
cash, MICROS stock, and debt. The total goodwill value as of June 30,
2000, was $14,546. The Company also purchased assets and an equity
interest during fiscal 2000. The most significant acquisitions are
described below. The results of operations for the acquisitions are
included as of the date of purchase.
Ausdata
On June 3, 1997, the Company, through its wholly-owned Australian
MICROS-Fidelio subsidiary located in Brisbane, acquired certain assets
from Ausdata Pty Limited ("Ausdata"), an Australian company. The
purchased assets relate to the distribution of MICROS POS products in
Australia. As part of the transaction, MICROS assumed all distribution
rights in Australia, and hired approximately 24 Ausdata employees. The
purchase price consisted of a base payment in the amount of approximately
Australian $4,800 (equal to U.S. $3,600 at exchange rates at the time of
the acquisition), of which Australian $1,400 (equal to U.S. $1,100 at
exchange rates at the time of the acquisition) was paid at closing and
the remainder was paid in fiscal 1998, and an earn-out payment, earnable
over three years if certain financial targets are exceeded. An earn-out
payment of Australian $159 was earned for fiscal year 1999 and an
earn-out payment of Australian $136 was earned for fiscal year 2000. The
payments are made during the first fiscal quarter of the following year
per the agreement. As of June 30, 2000, goodwill and other intangible
assets were approximately Australian $4,549 (approximately U.S. $2,715 at
the June 30, 2000 exchange rate) which are being amortized over a period
of six to seven years. The Company has consolidated MICROS and Fidelio
operations in Sydney and continues to maintain a presence in Melbourne
and Brisbane. The pro forma effects of this acquisition are immaterial
and are not presented herein.
Retail Business Systems, Inc.
In September 1998, the Company acquired all of the stock of Retail
Business Systems, Inc. ("RBS") by exercising its right under a Call
Option Agreement entered into on July 24, 1998. The consideration paid
for this right of $750 was applied to the purchase price under the
purchase agreement. The purchase price for RBS outlined in the purchase
agreement, including exclusivity and earn-out payments, could range from
$750 to $8,000. As of June 30, 2000, $1,750 has been paid under the
purchase agreement. Goodwill related to this acquisition is $1,745 at
June 30, 2000, and is being amortized over five years. The pro forma
effects of this acquisition are immaterial and are not presented herein.

1. Acquisitions, continued:
OPUS 2 Revenue Technologies, Inc.
In October 1999, the Company acquired all of the stock of OPUS 2 Revenue
Technologies, Inc. ("OPUS"), pursuant to the terms of a stock purchase
agreement. Based in Portsmouth, New Hampshire, OPUS engages in the
development, marketing and sale of yield and revenue management software
systems designed for the hospitality industry. The purchase price of
$4,800 for OPUS consists of an up-front payment of both cash of $3,800
and MICROS stock valued at approximately $1,000. The Company issued
24,510 shares (in whole shares) of restricted common stock to the former
owners. An additional payment of $450 was paid in January 2000 for the
purchase of OPUS. Goodwill related to this acquisition was $6,230 at June
30, 2000, and is being amortized over seven years. Additionally, the
former shareholders have the right to earn: (i) three earn-out payments
based on OPUS revenues, for the three periods ending 9 months (for which
no earn-out payment was due or paid as of June 30, 2000), 21 months, and
33 months after the closing of the transaction; and (ii) a performance
payment based on the completion of the development of certain new
software. The pro forma effects of this acquisition are immaterial and
are not presented herein.
Stanley Hayman and Company, Inc. and Micros of South Florida, Inc.
In December 1999, the Company acquired all of the stock of Stanley Hayman
and Company, Inc. ("Hayman") and Micros of South Florida, Inc. ("MSF").
Hayman and MSF are affiliate companies with substantially similar
shareholders. The purchase price for both companies was $5,000, which was
paid in January 2000. The goodwill related to this acquisition was $4,064
as of June 30, 2000, and is being amortized over seven years.
Additionally, the former shareholders have the right to earn six
additional earn-out payments over a 60 month period based upon Hayman and
MSF revenues. The pro forma effects of this acquisition are immaterial
and are not presented.
Frontier Business Technologies, Inc., Frontier infoSystems of North
America, Inc. and Frontier Business Technologies of Canada, Inc.
In June 2000, the Company acquired all of the stock of Frontier Business
Technologies, Inc. ("FBTI"), Frontier infoSystems of North America, Inc.
("FIS") and Frontier Business Technologies of Canada, Inc. ("FBTC"). All
three companies were owned by the same shareholder. The purchase price
for all three companies combined was $1,925, which was accrued in June
2000 and paid in July 2000. The goodwill related to this acquisition was
$2,363 as of June 30, 2000, and is being amortized over seven years.
Additionally, the selling shareholder may earn five earn-out payments
over a 60 month period. The payments, if any, and the amount shall be
determined by an earn-out formula, based on FBTI, FIS and FBTC revenues.
Minority interest
During fiscal 2000, the Company increased its interest in its
Scandinavian MICROS-Fidelio subsidiary group from 85% to 100% at a cost
of approximately $600. Goodwill approximated $120 and is being amortized
over ten years.

5. Line of credit:
The Company has a $45,000 multi-currency unsecured committed line of
credit expiring on December 31, 2000. Prior to this upcoming expiration
date, the Company anticipates that it will renew this line of credit for
an additional one-year period. The Company has the one-time option to
convert the line of credit into a three-year secured term loan upon
expiration of the line of credit. Interest due under the line of credit
will be calculated as follows: (i) in the event the advance is in U.S.
dollars, at the option of the Company, either the bank's prime rate minus
one half of one percent (.50%) per annum, or the LIBOR rate plus one and
one eighth percent (1.125%) per annum; or (ii) in the event the advance
is made in a currency other than the U.S. dollar, the LIBOR rate for the
applicable denominated currency selected, plus one and one eighth percent
(1.125%) per annum. Interest due under the three-year secured term loan
shall be, at the option of the Company, the prime rate or the treasury
bill rate (adjusted to a constant maturity of three years) plus two and
one quarter percent (2.25%). Under the terms of the current loan
agreement, the Company may borrow up to $45,000 less the amount of
outstanding letters of credit. Amounts outstanding under the line are
payable on demand and are not secured by the assets of the Company. The
agreement requires the Company to satisfy certain financial covenants. In
addition, the agreement limits the assumption of additional indebtedness
and restricts the Company's payment of dividends other than stock
dividends. As of June 30, 2000, there are no borrowings on this line of
credit, however there is approximately $7,800 in outstanding letters of
credit. The Company has approximately $37,200 available under this credit
agreement.
In addition, the Company also has a credit relationship from a European
bank in the amount of DM 15,000 (approximately $7,300 at the June 30,
2000 exchange rate). Under the terms of this facility, the Company may
borrow in the form of either a line of credit or term debt. Under the
credit facility, the Company has a balance of DM 5,000 (approximately
$2,400 at the June 30, 2000 exchange rate) in the form of balloon debt
and has no line of credit borrowings.

5. Line of credit, continued:
Also, due to a recent acquisition, the Company has a line of credit and a
line for term loans of $740. The agreement requires the Company to
satisfy certain financial covenants. The line of credit can be borrowed
in either U.S. dollars or Canadian dollars. The interest rate charged is
the prime rate plus 1 percent (1%). As of June 30, 2000, the Company has
a balance of $509 outstanding on the line of credit and $76 outstanding
in term loans.
In summary, the Company has approximately $42,200 available under these
credit agreements. The weighted average interest rates for all borrowings
above during fiscal year 2000 was 5.5%.
Certain MICROS foreign subsidiaries maintain additional lines of credit,
none of which is considered material.

On October 1, 1997, the Company acquired a balloon loan in the amount of
DM 5,000 from Commerzbank. Under the loan, payments of interest at a
fixed rate of 5.3% were due at the beginning of each quarter, beginning
October 1997, for the next 12 quarters. The loan was paid in full in
November 1999.
On September 1, 1998, the Company acquired an additional balloon loan in
the amount of DM 5,000 (approximately $2,441 at the June 30, 2000
exchange rate) from Commerzbank. Under the loan, payments of interest at
a fixed rate of 4.7% are due at the beginning of each quarter, beginning
September 1998, for the next 12 quarters. The full amount of the
principal is due September 1, 2001. The Company used the full proceeds to
reduce its DM-denominated borrowings under the Bank of America line of
credit.
On May 1, 2000, the Company signed a promissory note with the Maryland
Department of Business and Economic Development. The note proceeds were
used to purchase furniture for the new corporate office in Columbia,
Maryland. The loan is for ten years and matures on April 30, 2010. Under
the loan, payments of interest at a fixed rate of 2.0% and principal are
due each quarter.
On June 30, 2000, the Company purchased Frontier Business Technologies,
Inc. Due to the acquisition the Company acquired three term loans. The
loans have interest rates of 9.16%, 10.5% and 10.5%. The loans mature on
December 2002, January 2007 and March 2007. Payments of principal and
interest are made monthly.

8. Commitments and contingencies:
Office Closure
On April 1, 1998, MICROS announced the permanent closure of its facility
in Munich, Germany and recorded a charge of $2,245 associated with this
action. The decision was made to reduce costs and consolidate operations.
The Munich office had served primarily as a service and development
center for MICROS-Fidelio hotel products. The office closure costs are
comprised of severance benefits, relocation expenses and lease reserves.
As part of the Munich office closure, the Company terminated
approximately 72 of the 123 employees. In accordance with German labor
law and practice, and in accordance with an agreement achieved with the
Munich office workers council, MICROS has paid during fiscal 1999,
one-time severance benefits to all terminated Munich employees in the
aggregate amount of approximately $1,360. The balance of the

8. Commitments and contingencies, continued:
employees accepted relocation offers to other sites in Germany, the U.K.
and Florida and, as a result, the Company has incurred relocation
expenses in the amount of approximately $124 in fiscal 1998 and $427 in
fiscal 1999.
Leases
The Company and its subsidiaries lease office space and equipment under
operating leases expiring at various dates through 2010. Rent expense
under these leases for fiscal 2000, 1999 and 1998 was $8,433, $5,329, and
$5,584, respectively.
In anticipation of its move to new corporate headquarters, MICROS entered
into an amendment to a capital lease for one of the corporate
headquarters buildings located at 12050 Baltimore Avenue, Beltsville,
Maryland. As part of a comprehensive agreement, MICROS agreed to waive
certain purchase rights of the facility embodied in the original capital
lease, including the right to purchase the facility in 2009 for $10.00.
MICROS also entered into a standard operating lease with the owner of the
facility pursuant to which MICROS agreed to continue to rent portions of
the facility until March 31, 2000. In consideration of MICROS's entering
into the agreements, MICROS received a one-time cash payment of $625 from
the owner of the facility. In accordance with sale-leaseback accounting
requirements, the calculated gain of $275 has been deferred and is being
amortized over the term of the new operating lease arrangement. During
the third quarter of fiscal 1999, the Company removed the carrying values
of the combined land and building along with the capital lease obligation
of $3,470 and $3,205, respectively.
Also, in anticipation of the move, MICROS consummated a sale of its
corporate headquarters building located at 12000 Baltimore Avenue,
Beltsville, Maryland. MICROS has signed an agreement to lease the
building from the time of sale in June 1999 through July 31, 2001. MICROS
received proceeds of $2,930 for the sale of the land and building. The
calculated gain on the sale of the land and building is $505. In
accordance with sale-leaseback accounting requirements, $368 was deferred
and will be amortized over the term of the new operating lease
arrangement and $137 was recognized as profit in the month the sale
occurred. The Company removed the combined carrying values of $2,236.
Future minimum lease commitments at June 30, 2000 for those leases having
an initial or remaining non-cancelable lease term in excess of one year

8. Commitments and contingencies, continued:
The Company's new worldwide corporate headquarters are located in a new
facility in Columbia, Maryland. Pursuant to the terms of a 10-year lease
agreement (the "Orix Agreement"), MICROS leases the entire five story
structure, consisting of 250,000 square feet, from Orix Columbia, Inc., a
wholly-owned subsidiary of Orix USA Corporation. Included in the above
table, this new lease commitment is expected to be approximately $55,700
over the 10-year life of the lease. The Company's executive offices are
located at the Columbia facility. The Company also conducts sales,
marketing, customer support and product development activities at this
location. The Orix Agreement also provides MICROS with the right to
demand the construction of a new building adjacent to the new corporate
headquarters building, thereby providing MICROS with expansion space, if
subsequently required. MICROS has not exercised that option as of the
date hereof.
The cost per square foot on a fully operational basis of the new facility
is approximately 15% greater than the average cost per square foot of the
existing Beltsville facilities. Total lease expenditures for Maryland
offices will increase, as the aggregate amount of space to which the
Company has committed has increased. The amount of required space has
increased as a result of the growth the Company has in the past
experienced.
Legal proceedings
MICROS is and has been involved in legal proceedings arising in the
normal course of business. The Company is of the opinion, based upon
presently available information and the advice of counsel concerning
pertinent legal matters, that any resulting liability should not have a
material adverse effect on the Company's results of operations or
financial position.
On March 25, 1997, Budgetel Inns, Inc. ("Budgetel") filed suit against
MICROS in the United States Federal District Court in the Eastern
District of Wisconsin. Budgetel alleges, among other things, that MICROS
breached a March 1993 software support agreement by failing to provide
full support to this software package licensed to Budgetel in 1993.
MICROS filed its answer to the complaint in September of 1999. MICROS
also filed a counterclaim against Budgetel, alleging breach of contract
and defamation. Although the discovery phase of the litigation has been
substantially completed, no trial date has been scheduled. While the
ultimate outcome of litigation is uncertain, and while litigation is
inherently difficult to predict, the Company is of the opinion, based
upon presently available information and the advice of counsel concerning
pertinent legal matters, that resulting liability, if any, should not
have a material adverse effect on the Company's results of operations or
financial position.
9. Stock options:
The Company has incentive and non-qualified stock options outstanding
which were granted to a director, officers and other employees pursuant
to authorization by the Board of Directors. The exercise price of all
options equals the market value on the date of the grant. Substantially
all of the options granted are exercisable pursuant to a three-year
vesting schedule whereby one-third of the options vest upon the first
anniversary of the grant, the second third of the options vest upon the
second anniversary of the grant, and the final third of the options vest
upon the third anniversary of the grant. All options expire either five
or ten years from the date of grant. As of June 30, 2000, the Company has
1,033 authorized options available to grant. The Company applies the
intrinsic value based method of accounting prescribed by Accounting
Principles Board Opinion No. 25, "Accounting for Stock Issued to
Employees," in accounting for the stock option awards. Accordingly, the
Company has not recognized any related compensation expense in the
consolidated statements of operations.

Company to make certain disclosures as if the fair value based method of
accounting had been applied to the Company's stock option grants made
subsequent to fiscal 1995. Accordingly, the Company estimated the
grant-date fair value of each option awarded in fiscal years 2000, 1999
and 1998 using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model with the following
weighted-average assumptions:
2000 1999 1998
----------- ----------- ----------
Risk-free interest rate 6.1% 4.8% 5.7%
Expected life 5.8 years 7.0 years 7.0 years
Expected volatility 52% 47% 45%
Expected dividend yield 0% 0% 0%

Had fiscal 2000, 1999 and 1998 compensation cost been determined
including the weighted-average estimate of the fair value of each option
granted of $26.14, $14.71 and $12.78 in fiscal 2000, 1999 and 1998,
respectively, the Company's net income would be reduced to pro forma

Appropriate U.S. taxes have been provided for earnings of subsidiary
companies that are expected to be remitted to the parent company. The
cumulative amount of unremitted earnings from international subsidiaries
that is expected to be indefinitely reinvested is approximately $43,732
and $26,482 at June 30, 2000 and 1999, respectively.
The following summarizes the significant components of the Company's
deferred tax assets and liabilities:
2000 1999

Bad debt $2,729 $1,373
Accruals not currently deductible for tax 4,036 2,510

Deferred income taxes reflect the net tax effects of temporary
differences between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities for
financial reporting purposes and the amounts used for income tax
purposes. At June 30, 2000 and 1999, the Company had potential tax
benefits of $13,218 and $255, respectively, related to U.S. and foreign
net operating loss carryforwards for income tax purposes.

(in thousands, except per share data)
10. Income taxes, continued:
The net operating loss carryforwards are primarily attributable to tax
deductions related to the exercise of stock options during fiscal year
2000. The tax benefit related to the stock options exercised totaled
approximately $12,204. Because stock option deductions are not recognized
as an expense for financial purposes, the tax benefit for stock option
deductions must be credited to additional paid in capital.
The tax losses and tax credit carryforwards (if not utilized against
taxable income) expire beginning 2005 with many having an indefinite
expiration. A valuation allowance of $1,486 and $255 has been provided at
June 30, 2000 and 1999, respectively, to offset the related deferred tax
assets due to uncertainty of realizing the benefit of the loss
carryforwards and tax credits.
11. Other income (expense), net:
Other income (expense) is comprised of the following items:
2000 1999 1998

12. Related party transactions:
During fiscal 1998, Mr. Cohen, a Director of the Company, was compensated
$97 in consideration for his provision of consulting services to the
Company. Mr. Cohen's consulting agreement with the Company terminated on
June 30, 1998. Additionally, pursuant to the terms of the Purchase
Agreement dated August 25, 1995 under which the Company purchased from
Mr. Cohen and his family the remaining 77% of D.A.C. Systemes/MICROS
France and AD-Maintenance Informatique ("ADMI") the Company did not
already own, the Company owes as of the end of each fiscal year to Mr.
Cohen approximately $408 and $466 for fiscal 1999, and 1998,
respectively. The payments were made during the first fiscal quarter of
the following year per the agreement. Mr. Cohen retired as a Director of
the Company on August 28, 2000.
During fiscal years 2000, 1999, and 1998, the Company compensated Louis
M. Brown, Jr., Chairman of the Board, $255, $241, and $230, respectively,
for consulting services provided to the Company. Effective June 30, 1995,
and amended February 1, 1999, the Company and Mr. Brown entered into a
Consulting Agreement terminating June 30, 2002, pursuant to which Mr.
Brown is to provide on the average 20 hours per week of consulting
services to the Company in exchange for a base consulting fee plus a
target bonus, which adjusts annually. For fiscal 2000, Mr. Brown earned a
base consulting fee of $190 and a bonus of $65. The bonus paid was for
services provided in fiscal 1999.
13. Employee benefit plan:
The Company sponsors an employee savings plan, which conforms to the
provisions of Section 401(k) of the Internal Revenue Code. The Plan
covers substantially all full-time employees in the United States and
allows employees to voluntarily defer a certain percentage of their
income through contributions to the Plan. The Plan for corporate
employees matches fifty percent of the first five percent of each
participating employee's voluntary contributions. Furthermore, the
Company may elect to make

additional contributions, at its discretion. Due to the acquisitions in
fiscal 2000 there are four small additional 401(k) plans within the
United States. The Company plans to consolidate the plans and combine
them into the corporate plan within the next fiscal year. Company
contributions were made during the years ended June 30, 2000, 1999 and
1998 totaling $850, $725, and $596, respectively.
The Company does not have any material obligations to past or present
employees related to post employment benefits.

computer systems, property management systems, central reservation and
central information systems products for the hospitality industry. MICROS
is organized and operates in two segments: U.S. and International. The
International segment is primarily in Europe and the Pacific Rim. For
